西部大开发20年:西北地区与西南地区的对比

20 Years of China’s Western Development:A Comparison of the Northwest Regions and Southwest Regions

西部大开发战略实施20年来,西部地区在经济发展、居民生活、对外开放、城市化水平、生态环境、公共服务等方面都取得了巨大成就。通过西部地区与东部、中部地区的变化对比,及其内部西北地区与西南地区的差距分析,全方位梳理西部大开发以来西部地区的经济社会发展状况,可以发现其发展的不平衡不充分问题依然突出,发展质量、开放水平、环境保护等方面的任务仍然艰巨。因此,需要以新发展理念为指导,推动经济高质量发展;以共建“一带一路”为引领,扩大高水平开放;坚持生态优先,筑牢国家生态安全屏障;拓展区际互动合作,重视西北、西南地区联动发展,加快形成西部地区大保护、大开放、高质量发展的新格局。

20 years since the implementation of the Western Develepment.Strategy great achievements have been made on economic development,residents’lives,opening-up,urbanization level,ecological environment and public services.Based on the comparison of the changes between the western region and the eastern and central regions,as well as the analysis of the gap between the northwest and the southwest,this paper comprehensively sorts out the economic and social development of the western region after implementing Western Development Strategy,and finds that the problems of unbalanced and insufficient development remain outstanding,the tasks of development quality,opening-up,and environmental protection are still arduous.Therefore,it is necessary to promote high-quality economic development under the guidance of new development concept;to expand the high-level opening-up under the guidance of“Belt and Road”;to insist on ecological priority and build solid national ecological security barrier;to expand inter-regional interaction and cooperation,and attach importance to the interconnected development of the northwest and southwest regions,and accelerate the formation of new pattern of large-scale protection,opening-up and high-quality development in the western region.
